I believe parts of it are.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qemu#Integration_in_other_virtualization_solutions
Qemu is designed more for general emulation.  It can emulate different architectures, such as ARM on x86, whereas, VirtualBox will only run x86 on x86.  VB also has the advantage of using hardware assisted virtualisation if available - qemu/kqemu doesn't as the former is designed to be a general emulator, not platform specific (I actually am not sure if kqemu supports it, maybe it got added).

EDIT: I think KVM does support x86 virtualisation extensions, so scrap that...
